Keyboard microphone icon

Hi

with new update ive got microphone icon in top right above keyboard. tho i have settings set to hide microphone icon is still above keyboard. if i set to visible the whole new line appears and chat applications properly align to new keyboard height. but when i set not visible upper line hides but microphone icon is still visible and chat applications don’t align properly leaving send text button painfully near microphone icon. most of the time i with my awkward finger press microphone icon and not send text..please can you change this new keyboard function to also hide microphone icon? i don’t want to use voice input and mic icon is very annoying.

otherwise thank you for your effort im very happy with my /e/ OS

Meanwhile on 4.2-a15-20260816663281-community-FP3 the mic switch disappeared. Following other Android Keyboard (AOSP) bug reports for “missing mic” I installed Sayboard which responds

No recognisers installed

Check for Android keyboard (AOSP) Permissions > All permissions, does not include Microphone permission.

Is OP issue covered by this?
